There is a lake near a forest inSweden. The water in the lake is very clear and everything is quiet and still. On the far side of the water is some farmland and further away,across the field,is an old church built on a hill. It has just stopped raining. The small river flowing (流) into the lake is full and there is still some half melted (半融4匕的) snow from last winter on the ground.
The reason why the water is so clear and everything is so quiet and still is that most of the plant and animal life in and around the lake is dead. There are no birds because all the fish and insects have disappeared (消失"Many trees in the forest are losing their leaves and bark (树皮) ，and are ill and dying. Others were blown down by the high winds of last winter. A farmer is working in a field planting something,but if he doesn't plant a strong kind of seed this year,the crop (庄稼) will be between 25 to 40 percent lower than a few years ago. The stones of the old church tower are turning to powder (粉末) and if the tower is not repaired soon,it will fall down.
All the death and destruction in this place is caused (引起) by the smoke coming out of factories and poisonous (有毒的) gases from cars and trucks. And yet this quiet lake is hundreds of kilometers away from the nearest factory and highway.

A. Spring. B. Summer. C. Autumn. D. Winter.

At the age of 16,Einstein failed in several courses because he was with a group of naughty kids. One weekend morning,Einstein was about to fish with those kids,his father stopped him and said to him calmly, " Einstein,you're so fond of playing all day that you failed in the examination. I'm so worried about your future,so is your mother."
"What are you worrying about? Jack and Robert also failed,but don't they still go fishing as usual?"
"My boy,you can't think so," Looking at Einstein,his father said patiently, "There goes a story in our hometown. I hope you can listen to it carefully."

"Einstein,no one can be your mirror except yourself. Taking other people to be your mirror will give you a wrong idea of yourself and behave like a fool."
Hearing this,Einstein was ashamed and lay down his fishing rod and returned to his small room. Since then,Einstein often reflected on himself and kept reminding himself：I was special,so I needn't be as ordinary as others. This was why Einstein succeeded.

A World Made Fat Han Longwei,a Junior 2 student at Jinan No. 1Middle School in Shandong,faces a challenge every day. A McDonald's restaurant has opened near his house. It's a great temptation (谤惑) because he loves hamburgers.
"I love fast food,so I always want to go into McDonald's whenever I pass it by ,"he said.
Han Longwei is 1. 57 metres tall and weighs 80 kilograms. He is just one of the many overweight students inChina.
A new Ministry of Education (教育部) report says about half of middle school students do not weigh a normal amount. The number of overweight middle school students has increased to nearly 24 percent. " Obesity (过度肥胖) may become a new student killer," said Liao Wenke,a ministry official.
Why have so many students started to become overweight?
Like many teens at his age,Han spends too little time exercising and too much time playing on his computer,watching TV and,of course,eating fast food.
Students often watch many advertisements on TV which make unhealthy food look delicious. Many students are crazy about snack food (快餐) such as fried chicken,hamburgers and coke. This type of food is very bad for you and makes you fat.
Not exercising enough and spending too much time watching TV are the other two main reasons why students are getting fatter. Students have to spend a long time studying and this makes it difficult for them to find time to exercise. The Ministry of Education report shows that middle school students spend about 10 hours a day sitting down and more than 13 hours each week watching TV.
What can happen to your health if you eat too much fatty food?
Eating too much fatty food can make your body produce a lot of cholesterol (胆固醇) . Too much cholesterol can cause serious health problems such as heart disease and some kinds of cancer (癌症) .
Han Longwei would like to lose weight but finds it difficult. His father said that Han doesn't like to do certain sports. "Because he is fat,his classmates often laugh at him,"he said. Han is going to try and stop going to McDonald's. "I want to lose weight to improve my health,"he said,"I just wish I didn't like the taste so much!"
( ) 11. Why does Han Longwei face a challenge every day？
A. Because a McDonald's restaurant has opened near his house.
B. Because he loves eating fast food.
C. Because he wants to go into McDonald's as he is hungry.
D. Because he is overweight.
( ) 12. What does the underlined sentence " about half of middle school students do not weigh a normal amount" mean in the passage?

B. About half of middle school students are too fat.
C. About half of middle school students are either too thin or too fat.
D. About half of middle school students are neither too thin nor too fat.

A. not enough exercises B. eating fast food
C. too much homework D. watching too much TV

A. Because it can make our body produce a lot of cholesterol.
B. Because it will lead to many serious health problems.
C. Because others will laugh at us.
D. Because it will prevent us from doing certain sports.
( ) 15. What does Han mean when he says "I just wish I didn't like the taste so much!"?
